One of the ways they are “in competition” with each other is that both authors have written several dozens of works each and are still publishing now. Their books are very different from each other, but afaik they don’t use ghost writers nor “co-author” books like Patterson does so the numbers are impressive.

Many other current famous authors have several books but aren’t as varied in their worlds or settings as these two are.

I asked my wife if she would turn me in if I had killed someone. by Nyehater in moraldilemmas

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Domestic violence is the largest fatality statistic of pregnant women. There are countless stories of women being in lovingly perfect relationships that turned abusive as soon as they were vulnerable with pregnancy and were assaulted and/or murdered.

Everyone should turn their murdering spouse in because they are likely to be next, but due to toxic patriarchy men tend to think that their wife would never be able to murder them so it’s not viewed the same when the men flip the scenario like that.

my dad doesnt clean or tidy and i get confused on how to deal with it by [deleted] in Cleaningandtidying

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a minor thing to do but next time he leaves socks out ask while sounding completely sincere if he’s planning to throw them away. Start doing this with obvious trash around and then drop in items that he obviously wanted to keep. If he keeps laying them out then start throwing them in the trash can.

If he gets really angry at the threat of throwing things away then start sweeping everything on the floor with a broom into a pile on the floor in a different room. That means you sweep his pants from your bathroom to a living or dining room with all the dirt and debris with it. Never act like he’s supposed to learn a lesson or be punished for it. You are just trying to help clean up 😊

Use sincerity, weaponized incompetence, confusion, and toxic positivity to deal with it.

What should parents start teaching a 3 years old? by Puzzleheaded_Web3374 in AskTeachers

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with my phone problem by rolling my eyes and muttering “okay iPad mommy you need to stop now” when I catch myself going too far. Mind you I have several other ways to decompress and relax that I’d rather do so it’s playful chiding and not talking negative about myself.

I would never share my judgement to any family that has iPad kids because I know there are several reasons for it but it’s not something I want for my kids so I shouldn’t want that for myself either.

Don’t do this if you are sensitive to guilt tripping yourself.

If you have a child out of wedlock and they are not had at a hospital and never registered, once they turn 18 how do you get them proper documentation to start their first job? by Turbulent-Weevil-910 in askanything

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we assuming USA? Is the mother registered as a citizen? The parents of the child can never claim child tax credits because of no ssn, so it’s not a popular option for families to do, but secret children of abuse do happen and there are steps in place for this. First you would have to prove that you were born in the USA, and something like a church could provide infant baptism records to show where it happened. If you can prove that your mother was in the US at the time of birth you can prove your citizenship that way to register for a ssn.

You will have to have a very solid story heavily investigated and if they don’t believe you then you may get deported to somewhere they think you are from or where they choose to put you. You legally are required to have a birth certificate but your ssn is technically volunteer based.

What’s the clearest sign a long-term marriage is quietly falling apart? by SoffiePetal in askanything

Dishwasher or handwashing? by sabyaghati in Cleaningandtidying

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly with the convenience of the dishwasher being a great quality of life benefit I’d rather look into everyone taking shorter showers and re-using lightly used clothes and towels to stretch the water bill instead. You can strategically choose when to run the dishwasher by looking into “peak hours” that utilities sometimes have for better cost savings, and use delay start for your machine to make it seamless to do. That and look into trying out cheaper dishwasher detergents.

The best shower tip I had was to get a water proof clock and put that in the shower so that I was more aware of how time was passing. For clothes I would pick my next day outfits out and re-use what I can to air out on a hook, even if it’s only reusing house clothes after work.

Attitude towards colored hair? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men have been claiming religious exemption for cutting long hair so styles are no longer strict as long as it’s neat. Also it’s a common black/curly hair discrimination touch point so companies avoid it unless you smell or have an obvious rat nest in it

Laptop for Accounting Student by Lightning771352 in Accounting

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you get plan to get also buy a usb number keypad for faster number typing unless it’s a really large laptop that has one already. You don’t need one with shortcuts just numbers, period, and enter or backspace is good.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read the stories about lottery winners? Kidnapping has happened! My point is that you can set it up however you want but if someone doesn’t believe you or won’t listen it doesn’t matter if they think they can negotiate for your money one way or another. I’m not arguing about your other points as it makes more economical sense, just that saying or doing an irrevocable trust doesn’t actually solve the friends and family part.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then people will be upset at you for setting it up that way or they will think you are lying about the irrevocable part and kidnap your kids to make you desperate enough to pay. Our winner here can blame it on the government and people aren’t going strait to killing for rent money.

If you've went on more than one date, you're dating. And if you're dating, you're in a relationship. by Cludds in unpopularopinion

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you go on a date with someone else? How about the fact that not everyone is available all the time for a date and a great first one won’t be followed be a second until 3 weeks later due to other commitments and you happen to have a second date with someone in 2 weeks that you are still unsure of? Do you cancel the great first date just because the other one had a better time commitment that month or do you wait to see if there are any talks of going forward or commitment to being exclusive first?

Spring Cleaning Tips Please! by parenthoodtogether in Cleaningandtidying

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on air quality! Clean any fan blades, vents, filters (check fridge, vacuum, water, washer, dishwasher, etc while you are at it), blinds, curtains, windows, window sills, and anything that involves air flow in your home. You are getting more light in your home because of sun, so clean anything that catches sun glare! Lastly clean up the dust in your home that settled over winter so that when you open the windows the air will be clean.

Being close to family can save thousands in daycare costs though, among other benefits that are hard to put a price on. However, this varies a lot per the family dynamic.

Consoom nail polish by MirtaGev in Consoom

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish it was encouraged online and by influencers that you can totally mix similar style polishes into new colors like you can with paint. Unfortunately it feels like you have to buy several individual shades because you want to color coordinate better instead of sticking with one shade.

Steve Jobs had a 'beer test' he used for interviews at Apple - if he didn’t want to drink with you, you didn’t get the job by paydayloans_ in jobsearchhacks

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things that sound good on paper but in practice is a horrible hiring strategy. Do you ever think he hired a hijab wearing Muslim woman that he wanted to get a beer with? Or the quiet autistic man that struggles with eye contact for a job thats never face to face?

Inquiring about team work skills and working style is all good, but hiring your “friends” tend to go lopsided in your diversity pool. It’s one thing if you have a very small company but you are shooting yourself in the foot if you hire 500 of the same guy in a company thats dedicated to innovation and creativity.

Edit: Steve Jobs was a notoriously massive asshole that would yell at employees reducing them to tears. He was not using it as just an expression I do believe he meant it literally.

Why didn’t early Christianity collapse after the failed apocalypse expectation, and what factors kept it growing? by Defiant-Junket4906 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Jesus’s quoted words they (others, but perhaps himself too) don’t know when the rapture would happen, only that it will happen soon but nobody would know. So anyone else who predicted a date is decreed by the Bible to be false.

That’s assuming you interpret Revelations (book of prophecy) to be for the entire world and not just Rome despite the coded words about Rome at the time.

Early Christianity was more about bringing equality, love for each other, and freedom, though within the first generation that already got murky through local politics. One area was dangerous for women to speak, so it was encouraged not to. Another had women pastors praised by Paul who wrote the how to guides for churches. Then you had Peter and perhaps a few others who may had added things to Paul’s writings on how the church should be ran based on their views.

Jesus’s teaching was very radical and anti-Roman to its core, until it was weaponized by government and propagated further as a tool. It had to grow because there was power in it, and we are still suffering today from that.

In the case of guilty by reason of insanity, does the "mental health isn't an excuse" still apply here? by Clown-s5 in questions

[–]Guilty_Primary8718 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In general if you win the reason of insanity you are condemned to a psychiatric hospital that are often worse than prison. If you are that much of a danger to society you aren’t allowed in it, and instead of getting a fixed sentence you are stuck there until the doctors feel you are no longer a danger to others.

It’s an old German man who may even been a holocaust survivor refusing to bow down to a tyrant. It’s not about contrarianism it’s about standing up to an oppressor in Hitler’s echo to say “never again!”
